Chapter 407: Exploring the outskirts of the palace at night!

"Do you really think that the prince married the mermaid who once saved him?"

Lu Li asked.

"Of course, the prince even built an expensive crystal coffin for his wife after her death." Alyssa said seriously:

"Their relationship must be very good and their love must be very deep!"

"The depth of love is not reflected in the price of the crystal coffin after death." Lu Li said calmly:

"If I restricted your freedom, abused you, whipped you, or even tortured you cruelly while you were alive."

"But when you die, I will build you a gorgeous tombstone to show the world my love for you."

"Do you think this love is deep?"

Alyssa's cat ears drooped, and she was obviously thinking seriously.

The slavery culture of the Palu people had long been deeply rooted in her heart, so she didn't think there was anything wrong with what Lu Li had said before.

That was just the daily operation of slave owners on their slaves.

But there is one thing that Cat-Eared Girl is still clear about,

That is definitely not love.

Not to mention building a gorgeous tombstone after death.

Any slave with a little common sense could see that it was just a hypocritical performance put on by the slave owner to show off his own goodness.

So that the surviving slaves would remember their master's kindness and work even harder for him.

The cat ears on her head stood up again. Alyssa looked at Lu Li and shook her head firmly:

“Master, Alyssa understands.”

Pan Xiaoxiao frowned slightly and asked following the thread of discussion:

"But Mr. Lu Li, the above inference can only prove that the expensive crystal coffin cannot express the prince's love for his deceased wife."

"We still don't know what the prince did during his late wife's lifetime."

"Indeed, that's why we are discussing 'ways to pass the level' rather than 'strategies to pass the level'." Lu Li raised the corner of his mouth.

Pan Xiaoxiao had already caught up with his train of thought and did not have any doubts about him.

perfect.

"So in order to prove my guess, I need to collect more clues." Lu Li continued.

At the same time, he communicated with Xing Anlin in the soul world and asked him to prepare to activate the [Peeping Eye].

"I understand. It seems that I have to go to the outskirts of the palace early tomorrow morning." Pan Xiaoxiao sighed lightly.

"No need to wait until tomorrow." Lu Li moved his butt and called out to everyone:

"Come over here and help me block it."

"Ah?" Pan Xiaoxiao was confused.

Seeing Alyssa and Li Luo sitting next to Lu Li, she could only do as they were told and fill the last gap.

The four heads soon came together.

Then, under Pan Xiaoxiao's surprised gaze, wisps of black mist emerged from Lu Li's fingertips and formed a screen the size of a mobile phone on the sand.

The picture appeared, causing Pan Xiaoxiao's pupils to shrink slightly.

"Is this... the outskirts of the palace?"

"To be precise, it is the 'Garden Crystal Coffin' outside the palace." Lu Li explained.

"Is this the effect of your props?" Pan Xiaoxiao was extremely surprised.

The next second, an unlucky face that had never appeared before appeared, occupying most of the screen.

Not a prop effect!

Are you a player?

When did this person enter the secret realm? !

Pan Xiaoxiao is very confident in her memory.

She was sure that the unhappy face in the picture had never appeared in the 25 faces that had passed the level together.

correct,

It should be Lu Li’s summon!

According to the information available, Lu Li's innate ability is not only able to summon creatures with the appearance of monsters such as the Saber-Armed Mantis.

There are also humanoid summons.

Just as Pan Xiaoxiao's brain was thinking rapidly, she suddenly saw the ugly face on the screen move its mouth, as if saying something.

But no sound was heard.

Glancing sideways at Lu Li, he caught a glimpse of the young man suddenly frowning.

"Why did Mr. Lu Li suddenly frown? Did he encounter a problem?"

Pan Xiaoxiao couldn't help feeling nervous.

After all, we are in the secret realm of rules, and the power of rules is everywhere.

It is also very normal for players' talents and abilities to be restricted.

I don't know.

At this moment, Xing Anlin's pretentious voice was heard in Lu Li's mind:

"Brother Li, it's so scary here, I'm so scared..."

"What are you afraid of?" Lu Li was a little speechless:

"Don't worry if you're afraid of the dark. Soul Guards don't just perceive through their eyes. Black fog is also one of your senses."

"Even if it's pitch black outside the palace, you can move freely."

"I'm afraid of ghosts..." Xing Anlin continued to act pretentiously:

"Isn't there an unkillable monster in the Secret Realm of Rules? What if I run into one?"

"..." Lu Li was completely speechless:

"You are in spirit form! Strictly speaking, you are a ghost..."

"As long as I don't die, there's no difference between you and those weird ones."

"Okay, stop messing around and get down to business. Pan Xiaoxiao is watching."

"Hehe, just watch this!" Xing Anlin immediately stopped joking and moved towards the crystal coffin in the center of the garden with a prying eye.

Just at this moment, Lu Li realized that Pan Xiaoxiao was staring at him nervously.

"Uh... this is not the effect of props, it is my innate ability."

"The one staying outside the palace now is my summoned creature."

"He will help us collect more clues."

"It's good that there are no problems." Pan Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief and asked tentatively:

"Do you intend to have your summoned creature conduct a thorough inspection of the body in the crystal coffin?"

"That's right." Lu Li nodded and looked back at the screen:

"Because I think the person lying in the crystal coffin in the garden is not the mermaid who saved the prince's life."

"It's not that mermaid..." Pan Xiaoxiao was stunned.

She felt as if her mind had opened up a little.

But the answer remains vague.

On the screen, Xing Anlin moved agilely and quickly entered the center of the garden.

Unlike the strict guards during the day,

There was not a single heavily armored guard around the crystal coffin at night.

It was precisely because of this that Xing Anlin was able to approach smoothly.

A cartoon-like moon hung in the sky, casting a pale moonlight.

Because the screen cannot transmit sound, the environment seems even more eerie.

The three women held their breath at the same time.

In the picture, Xing Anlin fumbled around the crystal coffin for a while and suddenly stopped.

Pan Xiaoxiao's heart tightened and she looked at Lu Li again.

The young man's mouth twitched slightly and his brows furrowed, as if he had encountered an unexpected situation.

"Sure enough, there are still many limitations when just sending summons to collect clues..."

"Perhaps without the visiting token, there is no way to open the crystal coffin?"

"Or is it that without a player identity, you can't touch the key items in the secret realm at all?"

Pan Xiaoxiao was thinking in a mess.

I didn't guess it right.

It has absolutely nothing to do with Lu Li's inner state!

Because in the soul world, Xing Anlin, who had been groping for the crystal coffin for a while, communicated with Lu Li in this way -

Xing Anlin: "Brother Li, did we miss any key steps?"

Lu Li: "What?"

Xing Anlin said seriously:

"Light a candle! Light it in the northwest corner of the coffin!"

"People light candles, ghosts blow out lamps, and the rooster crows and the lamp goes out without touching the gold!"

"Since we are going to open the crystal coffin, we can't skip this step!"

Land from:"……"
